Chapter 52 Summer Solstice Don’t you like Brother Xingxing?

Xia Huanming wants to shoot this kind of video? !

Which move should he do? The one that jumps up, the dance in the middle, or the wink?

No matter which action it was, Zhao Xingyu got goosebumps just thinking about it.

Zhao Xingyu rubbed his shoulders and said, "Uh, I don't think this dance is suitable for you."

"Then let's change the video. After all, we are a team. If we want to shoot a video of cooperation, we have to shoot it with the people in the team first, don't you think?" Xia Huanming said casually, moving the mouse.

That makes sense...

Chen Xing and Zhao Xingyu were persuaded and watched Xia Huanming delete the video from the editing track.

"Well... I'll post this video later, let's just shoot it for the three of us first," Chen Xing suggested. "So should I ask everyone to shoot together? Or should we just shoot a video for the three of us?"

Xia Huanming tilted his head and looked straight at Chen Xing: "Aren't you anxious? Let's find a simpler one and let the three of us shoot first."

So the three of them started watching all the videos they could on their phones. Zhao Xingyu moved another chair over, and Xia Huanming sat back on his bed to watch the videos.

Finally, I found a video that didn't require much technical skills. It only required three people to cooperate in turning the camera, and whoever's turn it was, would sit on the bed and make corresponding movements.

The first two are Chen Xing and Zhao Xingyu, and they have no pressure in doing cute moves.

After they finished their imitations effortlessly, it was Zhao Xingyu's turn to take photos of Xia Huanming.

Xia Huanming, whose facial features are clearer and tougher than his life goals, clenched his fists and placed them on both sides of his cheeks, and shook his head from side to side, making the posture of a lucky cat, as shown in the video.

Zhao Xingyu's hands trembled: "..."

The imitation is perfect, but the visual impact is great.

Just like the second uncle who usually talks about Jin Yong and America at home suddenly puts on cat ears one day, stands in front of them and says: "I am actually a cute girl with cat ears, meow"...

Looking again, Chen Xing next to him didn't feel anything, and even encouraged Xia Huanming to pout.

Fortunately, Xia Huanming didn't listen to him, otherwise Zhao Xingyu would really be in trouble.

Chen Xing nodded with satisfaction: "Oh, so cute."

Zhao Xingyu: “……?”

No, is it his personal problem or something, doesn’t Chen Xing find it strange? ?

After the filming, the three of them watched the video together. The first two were very natural, but when it was Xia Huanming's turn, Zhao Xingyu still had the feeling that "the world has fallen, and even Xia Huanming has come out to act cute."

But the two seemed very satisfied. Chen Xing said, "Okay, let's take this one. It's a perfect shot."

Xia Huanming also nodded.

Zhao Xingyu pointed at his phone and said tactfully, "Don't you think... our CEO Xia's behavior is a little... weird?"

"What's wrong?" Chen Xing looked down at his phone, then looked up at Xia Huanming with a bewildered look on his face. "Is it cute?"

Xia Huanming raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and rubbed Chen Xing's hair with satisfaction.

"..." Zhao Xingyu sighed heavily, patted Chen Xing's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Xiao Zhu, you have a good taste in clothes, but you don't have a healthy aesthetic."

Chen Xing: “?”

Xia Huanming: "Are you asking for a beating?"

Anyway, this video was still used in the vlog. Chen Xing edited the video until 11pm and finally finished editing it.

He first sent the entire vlog to Lu Qing, and after Lu Qing reviewed and approved it, he could post it on the social platform.

Chen Xing left the computer chair, stood up, faced the windowsill, and stretched.

The night outside the window was already deep. The moonlight originally wanted to sprinkle quietly on the windowsill, but it had nowhere to hide because of the light in the room.

Thinking about it this way, the moonlight is quite lovely.

Xia Huanming, who was lying on the bed and looking at his phone, noticed Chen Xing's movements. He propped himself up, sat at the head of the bed and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's okay, just don't have too high hopes for my editing." Chen Xing turned off the computer and prepared to take a shower and go to bed.

Xia Huanming shook his head and said as a matter of course: "No, I've seen your previous videos, they were edited very well."

Chen Xing was bending down to get a towel, but when he heard this, he paused, then turned around in surprise, his eyes gleaming with excitement: "Have you watched my previous vlog? When?"

"After we followed each other, I just casually took a look at your Weibo." Xia Huanming lowered his eyes, his gaze fixed on the phone screen, his tone calm and as if he was talking about the weather.

Chen Xing believed it. He said "Oh", took out a towel and went to take a shower.

Chen Xing took off his clothes. Warm water poured down from the shower head. The water droplets jumped on his shoulders, slid down his back, and took away his tiredness.

Chen Xing almost fell asleep while taking a shower. Finally, he patted his face and came out of the bathroom.

When Chen Xing came out, Xia Huanming was still sitting there playing with his phone, not saying anything, as if waiting for him to come back.

Do you mean waiting for him to turn off the lights?

Chen Xing obediently turned off the lights and said "good night" to Xia Huanming.

Xia Huanming did not answer "good night", but his voice was particularly clear in the dark bedroom:

"If your eyes are too tired, apply a cold compress."

Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll go to bed after I send the message."

"Um."

Chen Xing lay down in bed, lowered the light of his phone and checked WeChat.

Lu Qing is really efficient. After watching the vlog, I immediately sent him a message.

【Chen Xing】：I want to post it tomorrow

[Lü Qing]: I think it’s better to post it later.

[Lv Qing]: It’s best to release it after the first episode comes out, so that you can also take advantage of the promotion of “Acting First” and increase your popularity.

【Chen Xing】：Okay(●u●)

Chen Xing followed Lu Qing's advice and set each software to automatically publish the video at noon five days later.

After everything was arranged, he turned off his phone and went to sleep.

The next day at noon, Zhao Xingyu asked him if he had posted it yet. Chen Xing told him that it would be released after the first episode was aired. Zhao Xingyu felt very sorry: "I have told my friends that I look so handsome in this video. Alas, it seems that I have to wait a few days before I can hear their praise."

Chen Xing was amused. After drinking the soy milk, he said, "Aren't you handsome now? Why don't you take a picture and send it to them?"

Speaking of taking photos, Zhao Xingyu looked enlightened. He sat next to Chen Xing, put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Let's take a photo together. I'll send it to them. They were particularly impressed by you after watching the pilot episode."

"Okay." Chen Xing put down the spoon and straightened his plaid jacket.

So the two of them got together and took a photo.

Zhao Xingyu crossed his legs and happily sent the video to his friends. He put his phone in front of Chen Xing and said proudly, "Look, this can be considered a hot search now."

Chen Xing smiled and just picked up the soy milk to drink, but Xia Huanming's low voice came from behind him, with a hint of coldness: "You can let go after the shooting, let him eat well."

"Oh," Zhao Xingyu let go of his hand and straightened his body.

Chen Xing turned to look at Xia Huanming, but saw that he looked indifferent, as if the words he just said were just a casual remark.

However, this was only what Chen Xing saw.

In fact, Xia Huanming's jawline had already tightened when he saw Zhao Xingyu lying next to Chen Xing. It was only thanks to Xia Huanming's natural acting skills that he did not reveal the jealousy in his heart.

He was just going for a run, and now he has his hand on you?

Without Qi Yinrui, Zhao Xingyu would also be a big problem.

If he hadn't wanted Chen Xing to sleep a little longer, they would have gone running together long ago.

Xia Huanming had mixed feelings, but when he saw Chen Xing hooking his finger at him, he couldn't help but walk over.

Suddenly, he remembered that he smelled of sweat, so he stood one meter away from Chen Xing and stopped moving forward. He explained to the bewildered Chen Xing, "I smell of sweat."

Chen Xing nodded to show his understanding and said, "It's okay, I just wanted to tell you that I can't post that video today. I have to wait until the first episode is aired."

Xia Huanming looked at Chen Xing and agreed: "Okay, I will definitely go and see it when you post it."

In fact, even if Chen Xing didn't say it, he would watch it over and over again.

After breakfast, the others went to the shooting site. Chen Xing still had a task to do, so he had to leave the group and take the final photos alone.

Because the character he played in the third season was not only a kindergarten teacher, but also a member of the protagonist group with a strong sense of justice.

The story in the third episode is warmer. The little people come together to help each other, overcome difficulties, and work together to be positive.

There is a scene in which the protagonists want to catch a pervert who often harasses women walking on the street at night, so they think of having one of them dress up as a woman to catch the turtle in the jar. The person they finally choose is the kindergarten teacher Tang Yichen.

So Chen Xing is going to take the final makeup photos for women's clothing this time, and he is also the only one who is taking two sets of final makeup photos.

Originally, Chen Xing only wanted to take pictures of kindergarten teachers' daily clothes and work clothes, but later Zheng Peiya, Xue Si Nian and even Xiao Ling wanted to see his final makeup.

Director Yu also felt that this set of makeup photos would definitely attract attention if they were released, so he agreed to let them reshoot them.

Because Director Yu was directing the filming on site, the people who stayed behind to evaluate the promotional photos became the two assistant directors' followers. While waiting, they chatted with Xue and Zheng.

"Yeah, right? You guys are here as interns as well?"

"It can be considered the assessment stage."

“That’s also very hard…”

Their voices gradually became quieter as the people outside came in, and were replaced by a shocked and astonished silence.

The moment the four people saw Chen Xing, it was as if some kind of switch was pressed. They stood up in unison like robots, staring straight at Chen Xing.

The long black wig fell softly on Chen Xing's shoulders, and the slightly curly hair ends glowed faintly under the light.

He was wearing a light green winter cotton coat and a simple aqua blue lotus leaf skirt, revealing a small section of his slender, straight calves. The scar that was about to fade did not affect his overall beauty at all, but instead added a bit of reality and story to him.

Chen Xing's facial features are already delicate, and Xiaoling applied double-eyelid stickers and false eyelashes to him, and even the lip gloss is a beautiful red bean paste color, which tones down Chen Xing's handsomeness by one degree, and makes him more playful and cute - he is now a little beauty with a distinctive look.

Chen Xing's fingers unconsciously pulled at his collar, feeling a little awkward under the gaze of everyone: "I think it's OK, what do you think?"

Everyone was silent: "..."

Of course it is...so appropriate!

At the reading session, they discussed Chen Xing's suitability for the role. They didn't expect that she was so suitable. She was exactly the same as they had imagined. She really became a beautiful sister.

After a few seconds of silence in the room, Xue Si Nian stood up, rushed to Chen Xing, held Chen Xing's hand tightly, and spoke happily in various languages: "It's so beautiful! Biyoutefu! ​​Yaboyo! Oh Nesangwakiliedesi!"

Zheng Peiya also came over and praised: "Xiaoling is really good at choosing clothes, they suit you very well."

Chen Xing thought of Xiao Ling putting makeup on him, and said proudly, "Oh, by then, those people will definitely praise my makeup skills. Hehe."

The scene was indeed like this. Chen Xing couldn't help but smile.

This smile made Xue Si Nian's eyes light up.

"Hurry, hurry, let me take some pictures." Xue Si Nian picked up the phone and took a photo with Chen Xingxing.

Chen Xing bent down cooperatively and smiled faintly at the camera.

The automatic soft light function of the mobile phone makes Chen Xing's skin look more delicate and translucent. The gentleness between his eyebrows is magnified, and the whole person seems to be shrouded in a faint halo.

After seeing the photo, Zheng Peiya couldn't help laughing and said, "It's over. You will definitely be on the hot search again after the show airs."

Xue Si Nian looked back and forth at the successful shots, savored them carefully, and looked at them eagerly: "Should I post it in the group? Should I post it?!"

Zheng Peiya thought for a moment and said, "Let's keep some suspense and surprise them when we shoot."

Seeing this, the two interns immediately said, "Then I'll talk to the master and ask them to help keep it a secret."

Xue Si Nian nodded: "Okay, okay."

They are indeed young people, they don’t even need any secret codes to do “bad things”.

The photo shoot for Chen Xing's final makeup went very smoothly.

With Zheng Peiya's guidance and Chen Xing's own ability to strike lively poses, the last photo was taken quickly.

In the last photo, they drastically changed the previous "cute girl next door" style and made a "two-level reversal".

Chen Xing stepped on the back of the actor who played the "pervert", a rogue smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he put his hands on his hips, showing an arrogant attitude of "I won't pretend anymore after being discovered", and lifted up half of his skirt to reveal the sweatpants underneath.

After all the filming was finished and Chen Xing left to remove her makeup, Xue Si Nian asked everyone in the group.

[Xue Si Nian]: How are things going, my family? Is everything going well? @赵星宇@汪百阅@郑戚@夏唤铭

[Zhao Xingyu]: Not bad, not too tired

[Wang Baiyue]: How did you shoot?

[Xue Si Nian]: It’s so perfect, you can never imagine how beautiful it is.

[Zheng Peiya]: I can testify that she is really beautiful

【Zhao Xingyu】：Look at the pictures

【Xue Si-nian】：【Picture】

In this picture of Xue Si Nian, everything around her is mosaic except for herself.

"What can you tell from this mosaic picture?!" Zhao Xingyu, who was waiting to be filmed, looked at it twice and complained to the person next to him, "Don't you think so? Xia Huanming!"

While Zhao Xingyu was speaking, Xia Huanming was reading a script, his back leaning lightly against the wall, one leg slightly bent with his toes touching the ground, and the other leg casually stretched out.

After hearing what Zhao Xingyu said, Xia Huanming raised his head and glanced at him: "They are deliberately confusing you to see how shocked you will be."

Zhao Xingyu thought Xia Huanming would be as indignant as he was, but he turned out to be so cold?

Zhao Xingyu asked: "So calm? Aren't you curious?"

Xia Huanming almost laughed out loud.

How could he not be curious? Just by looking at the mosaic, he could imagine how beautiful Chen Xing would be, otherwise Xue Si Nian would not have reacted like this.

But he was not in a hurry, as he had a rival scene with Chen Xing the day after tomorrow, so he had plenty of time to watch.

Xia Huanming's tone remained steady: "I'm curious, but I'll know sooner or later."

"I know, but don't you think their behavior is just like..." Zhao Xingyu said as he unzipped his cotton jacket and spread his hands, with a helpless tone, "They privately chatted with me and asked if I was there. I replied that I was, but they didn't say anything. Isn't this just keeping me on suspense?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a staff member hurried into his sight holding a large ball of cotton.

Zhao Xingyu's eyes involuntarily followed the man's movements. He saw him walking quickly towards a small street not far away, gently spreading the cotton on the ground, and carefully adjusting it a few times, as if he was completing a work of art.

We changed to a new studio today. The ground was covered with cotton wool and soft objects, piled up into a thick layer of "snow". Several fake houses of different heights were also covered with foam snow, and the dull green mailbox was also covered with a thin layer of fake snow.

The whole scene seemed to be moved directly from a winter town, quiet and warm, and the air seemed to be filled with a fairy-tale atmosphere.

All the actors were dressed in the same thick winter coats, and Zhao Xingyu wore a long black down jacket and black wide-leg pants.

Zhao Xingyu shifted his gaze back to Xia Huanming in front of him.

Xia Huanming was wearing a short dark brown down jacket with a corner of his white sweatshirt showing through, and old dark brown jeans. Xia Huanming's hair had been slightly permed, and his originally straight black hair had become fluffy and curvy.

This rare curly hairstyle does not look out of place on him at all. Instead, it makes his facial features more three-dimensional, with a clean vertical line across his nose.

The pair of dark eyes lowered, concentrating on the script in her hand, and she answered him calmly: "It's okay if you don't talk, but wouldn't it be more terrible to suddenly ask you if you have a bank card?"

Zhao Xingyu thought about it and nodded, "That's right."

Zhao Xingyu talked about the script again. Although Xia Huanming was reading the script, he responded to every word.

After the last question was asked, Director Yu, who was not far away, called out over the loudspeaker, "Zhao Xingyu, it's your turn."

"Oh, okay!" Zhao Xingyu put away his phone and ran over.

Xia Huanming continued to sort out his lines. After he confirmed that they were correct, he closed the script, went to the table to pick up his water bottle, and just as he was about to open it and take a sip, his eyes swept across the corner.

A familiar little girl was squatting there. She was wearing a beige long-sleeved shirt and a checkered pleated skirt, and her whole body was huddled in the shadows.

Xia Huanming remembered her. She was the little girl who particularly liked to pester Chen Xing.

He heard Chen Xing shouting, it seemed like he was calling something...

Xia Huanming walked over nonchalantly, his steps slow and gentle, and only when he was in front of her did he confirm in a low voice: "Guoguo?"

Guoguo huddled in the corner with her knees hugged. When she heard someone calling her, she looked up suddenly and glanced at Xia Huanming with a vigilant look.

He seemed to confirm that it was the actor he had seen before, he breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Hello, Brother Xiao Xia."

Xia Huanming was a little surprised, squatted down and asked: "Do you know me?"

Guoguo blinked and said, "Because you are a good actor, mom often points to you and asks me to learn more, and you are also very handsome."

Xia Huanming recalled what Chen Xing had said: "Why would I be afraid of you?"

Yeah, no one is afraid of him.

Maybe what Chen Xing said was true, and the things he was worried about would not happen.

Xia Huanming pointed to a table and plastic stool not far away and said patiently, "Let's go sit there. It's dirty to squat here."

Guo Guo followed his line of sight and nodded: "Yeah."

She slowly stood up and followed Xia Huanming.

During this time, several children were pulled by their parents passing by here and greeted the two of them.

"Hello, Actor Xia."

"Hello."

"Guoguo is good."

"Hello, uncle and aunt."

…

The two people, one big and one small, kept a distance of 30 centimeters between them. Anyone who looked at them could tell that they were not familiar with each other.

Several parents dragged their children to the lounge, and the two walked against the flow of people to the table.

The overhead light poured down from above, attempting to lightly cover the two people like a veil, but in the end it only created a circular spot of light on the stone and wood grain tabletop.

After the two sat down, Xia Huanming noticed that Guoguo lowered his head and played with his fingers gloomily.

He thought for a moment, then tapped the table with his fingers, making a subtle "dong dong" sound. After attracting the child's attention, he asked, "Why are you here alone? Where's your mother?"

Guoguo immediately pouted and said angrily: "She went to the bathroom, and I had a quarrel with her! I told her not to come over!"

Xia Huanming asked Guoguo why they had quarreled, but Guoguo refused to say.

Xia Huanming didn't ask any more questions and changed the subject, "Why don't you play with other kids? Why are you staying here alone?"

"Because I want to wait for Brother Xingxing," Guoguo's expression became much happier when she talked about Chen Xing. She shook her legs, "When will he come?"

"Should be...soon, right?" Xia Huanming checked the time on his phone. "I'm waiting for him too. I'll wait with you."

Guoguo nodded.

“…”

“…”

The two, one big and one small, sat on the chairs in silence, and there was more silence after silence.

In just a few minutes, the atmosphere became quiet three times.

Xia Huanming admired Chen Xing even more. How could he talk to a child for such a long time?

Xia Huanming had nothing to do, so he went to watch the rivalry between Zhao Xingyu and Shao Shuxian.

Shao Shuxian must have practiced what Gu Yirou taught her at home, as her voice became much louder and could be heard clearly even from such a distance.

"Brother Xiaoxia." Guoguo suddenly spoke and called him softly.

Xia Huanming turned his head upon hearing the voice and looked at her gently: "Hmm?"

Guoguo pinched the corner of her clothes shyly and asked in a low voice, "What do you think Brother Xingxing would like?"

Xia Huanming raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked with a hint of curiosity: "Are you going to give him something?"

Guo Guo nodded: "Yes, to thank him for always taking care of me."

Talking about Chen Xing, Xia Huanming chuckled and his eyes softened: "He has a very good personality. As long as it's not something particularly expensive, he will be very happy and like it very much."

Guoguo blinked and suddenly asked, "When Brother Xiaoxia sent it, was Brother Xingxing also very happy?"

Xia Huanming was stunned for a moment.

If those Swiss rolls and small cakes can be considered as gifts, then Chen Xing is indeed very happy.

But how did Guoguo know that he had given it to her? Did Chen Xing tell her?

"I'm happy," Xia Huanming said with a smile, "But how do you know I sent it? Did Brother Xingxing tell you?"

"No," Guoguo tilted her head and looked at him suspiciously, as if she was looking at an adult who was asking questions knowing the answer. "Don't you like Brother Xingxing as much as I do? Then you must have given him gifts too."
